FORT WORTH, Texas (AP)
Kyle Busch will not be allowed to race in the Sprint Cup or Nationwide races at Texas after he deliberately wrecked championship contender Ron Hornaday Jr. in the Truck Series race.
VIDEO: Busch wrecks Hornaday
See the Trucks race wreck that has the NASCAR crowd buzzing. Watch the clip.
NASCAR President Mike Helton announced the decision Saturday after a meeting with Busch and Joe Gibbs, his Sprint Cup and Nationwide car owner. Even under the policy of ''Boys, have at it,'' NASCAR determined Busch went too far.
''The responsibility that over the past two or three seasons we've given back to the drivers came I think with a very clear understanding that there could be a line that got crossed,'' Helton said. ''And as annoying as the comments that I've made personally in the past about we'll know it when we see it might have been, we saw it last night.''
Busch left the NASCAR hauler through an exit away from the media.
''This is a tough situation for us and basically what we're trying to do is go through it the right way,'' Gibbs said. ''Everybody here with our race team is trying to meet with everybody that was affected by this and obviously we've got a lot of work to do there and a lot of people to see. But we're going to be try to go through this and try to handle everything in the right way.''
Gibbs said he met with Busch in the driver's motor home, but didn't share what was said.
''It's one of those personal conversations you have when a real tough situation like this comes up,'' Gibbs said.
Busch is the first driver since Robby Gordon in August 2007 to be parked for a Cup race for actions in another NASCAR race the same weekend.
Michael McDowell will take over for Busch in the Cup race Sunday, and Denny Hamlin took over the Nationwide seat Saturday.
Let the race begin
Where will your favorite driver start at Texas?
Gordon wasn't allowed to drive in a 2007 Cup race at Pocono after an incident during the Nationwide race at Montreal.
Kevin Harvick, the owner of Hornaday's truck, was kept out of the Cup race in Martinsville in 2002 for actions related to a truck race there the previous day.
Hornaday was knocked out of Friday night's truck race on the 14th of 148 laps when Busch retaliated for contact between them by pushing the four-time champion into the wall. The trucks made contact after trying to go three-wide around a slower truck and both then brushed the wall.
Busch got behind Hornaday and kept pushing until the No. 33 truck wound up in the wall.
''I lost my cool, no doubt about it. I've been wrecked four weeks in a row, and I've had enough of it, and I retaliated,'' Busch said by his hauler after the wreck Friday night. ''So it's certainly my fault for doing that. If everybody wants to say, 'Hornaday is racing for a championship, roll over,' that's not my fashion. That's not anybody else's fashion out here.''
Hornaday dropped from third to fourth in points, his margin increasing from 15 to 48 with only one race left.
Busch and Harvick were fined and placed on probation for an altercation following the Cup race at Darlington in May.
Off the charts
Which title contenders fare well at Texas? CHARTING THE CHASERS
The two made contact during that race and Harvick wrecked with teammate Clint Bowyer. Afterward, Harvick climbed from his car and threw a punch into Busch's window before Busch used his car to bump Harvick's out of the way.
Officials radioed each man's crew during a later race at Pocono, when Harvick forced Busch down the track while the two were fighting for position.
In May, Busch was ticketed in North Carolina for driving 128 mph in a 45 mph zone in a bright yellow 2012 Lexus. He later pleaded guilty to speeding and no contest to reckless and careless driving, and lost his driver's license for 45 days. He was fined $1,000, sentenced to 30 hours of community service and put on one year of unsupervised probation .
During the Cup race in Texas last fall, Busch was penalized three laps - the first for speeding on pit road and two more for flashing an obscene gesture through his windshield at the NASCAR official who signaled the infraction while standing in front of Busch's car.

If I was incharge of NASCAR Racing I would BAN Kyle from Racing in any Division..& charge him
with attempted Vehicular Homicide ->4Sure.

Not the first time he's intentionally wrecked someone (2008 at Richmond comes to mind when he intentionally wrecked Jr). I don't like him at all. Between him wrecking Jr on more than one occasion and the stunt he pulled at Nashville when he destroyed a priceless (and beautiful) Gibson guitar I have no kind words for him.
Hi Supply Sgt..
I think Kyle B is blessed with massive racing talent, but I think his head is messed up and should not be permitted to race when he continues to purposely put other drivers in danger....I hope that nascar does not wait until he kills someone before they ban him from racing..He needs more help than Space does

I won't argue that he (as well as his brother) has a ton of talent, but like you said, he puts far too many people in danger on a weekly basis. His brother was very agressive early in his career but was not nearly as reckless as Kyle has been so far. Something is eventually gonna have to give. Even with all the safety features in the current cars, someone is eventually gonna get killed if this keeps up.
I think this marks the end of the "Boys, have at it" policy that Robin Pemberton put forth a few years ago. Edwards puts Keselowski in a fence: probation. Busch smahses a car under caution: suspension. Oh well. I guess NASCAR has it's reasoning.
The thing is, my generation does not understand how dangerous this really is. People used to die all the time. It's hard to get much more than just dizzy in a race car these days. Fortunately, deaths are less and less frequent, and the result is people who didn't live through the first 40 or so years of NASCAR just don' appreciate how safe they are and realize how dangerous how fast they are going is.

LOL `Mitch, I really agree 2
Space should be banned & Space needs a lot of HELP 4-Sure..I think more then `Kyle.....Now, get outa my way or I'll wreck`ya ~> LOL========================================
I take a short nap b-4 work for a few hours & all kinds of things happen. I just heard on the news that Kyle B. is banned from the Nationwide Race & also the Sprint Cup 2morrow.
I agree with what BeachBum Mike posted about Kyle. I hope this suspension wakes him `up, or that he is removed from racing...`if he continues ? ? ? ?
============================================

Kyle oughta know what it feels like to get slammed in the wall from Daytona a few years ago when he tried to swipe across Smoke a few too many times. Smoke held his ground and Kyle went up in the wall on the final lap.
